New 2009 Ford F-150

Increased power and a redesigned interior and exterior mean that the 2009 Ford F-150 is an all-new and improved truck.

One of the great things about the redesigned F-150 is that there are so many trim levels and cab styles, the driver can pick and choose between several variations in order to find the winning combination.  The F-150 is available in seven trim levels, including the workhorse XL, youth-oriented STX, mainstream XLT, off-road FX4, luxurious Lariat, robust King Ranch, and top-of-the-line, all-new Platinum model.  In addition to the vast array of trims, there are three cab styles to choose from: Regular-cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew.  As for power, the F-150 receives an upgrade in the form of an all-new 4.6-liter, 248-horsepower V-8 standard engine that is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.  A 4.6-liter, 3-valve, 292-horsepower V-8 and a 5.4-liter, 310-horsepower V-8 (E85 ready) are both mated to six-speed automatic transmissions.

The F-150’s new squared-off nose, giant grille and domed hood are a departure from F-150’s of the past.  With a best-in-class payload rating up to 3,030 pounds and best-in-class towing capacity up to 11,300 pounds, the F-150 is a serious workhorse that can handle the toughest jobs. Electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive is available, allowing you to seamlessly shift into 4x4 mode when needed. An all-new tailgate step will help those who constantly climb in and out of the bed.  When it comes to hauling your toys, Trailer Sway Control, AdvanceTrac system and Roll Stability Control ensure a smooth and balanced ride.

Inside the cabin, an optional power moonroof lets the sunshine in. An optional AM/FM stereo with in-dash 6-disc CD changer, MP3 capability, and SIRUS® satellite radio provides a major upgrade from the standard audio unit. The innovative Ford Work Solutions™suite include an in-dash computer running Microsoft® Windows® for automotive, CrewChief™ telematics, Tool Link™ from DeWALT® and Cable Lock™ by Master Lock® to help business owners, contractors and fleet owners work more productively.  The available voice-activated Navigation System provides detailed freeway exit, turn and ramp transition lane guidance and street name announcement.

Front and side curtain airbags, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system with traction control are standard.  In certain collisions, the standard Personal Safety System uses the electronic crash-sensor, a restraint-control module as well as other safety systems to lessen any damage done.  The rear view camera and high-strength safety cage add to your safety.

With so many trims, safety features, innovative gadgetry; a redesigned interior and exterior; new, more powerful engine and best-in-class towing capacity, and payload rating it’s easy to see whey the 2009 F-150 just might be the best truck ever.
